.@DavidSacks makes a good case here that the “AI will kill humanity” headlines were orchestrated: they leaped into mainstream media from the dormant X account of an Anthropic employee who quit after six weeks. David names purported perpetrators and calls out the role @WSJ played.
Fewer than 300 people in human history have ever seen this with their own eyes.
Earth spinning beneath them.
Nothing between their face and the infinite void except a helmet visor.
It’s called an extravehicular activity (EVA)—a spacewalk.
You leave the station, secure yourself to the spacecraft, and spend hours working in the vacuum of space.
If you or people you know still think AI agents are just stochastic parrots who lack competence, understanding or goals, please take a few minutes to read what just happened here with an open mind:
OpenAI’s Navier–Stokes result reportedly used ~10,000 autonomous agents, but only 2.7M messages and 130B tokens for the final proof search.
That’s not “lots of agents = lots of chatter.” It’s tight coordination: orchestration logic aggressively prunes, routes, and reuses partial work.

your brain can't tell the difference between something you vividly imagine and something that's actually happening to you.
neuroscientists call it episodic future thinking. most people only use it to rehearse failure and call it "being realistic." that's not caution, it's self sabotage on repeat.
flip it. visualize the outcome you actually want, with real emotion, and your brain starts building the neural pathway for it. it starts filtering reality for evidence that matches.
the future isn't something that happens to you. it's being built inside your mind right now, whether you're doing it on purpose or not.
This morning, mathematicians at OpenAI announced that a group of 10,000 autonomous AI agents under their direction proved that the Navier-Stokes equations can “blow up,” thus solving one of the six remaining Millennium Prize Problems. But this massive result is not without controversy. https://t.co/I0f1hwvETo
10,000 OPENAI AGENTS SOLVED A $1 MILLION PROBLEM IN 88 HOURS
For nearly 90 years, mathematicians could not determine whether the Navier-Stokes equations can break down while describing fluid motion.
-> Now OpenAI says it has found the answer.
The company deployed around 10,000 agents powered by an internal model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
They worked in parallel, exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated roughly 130 billion output tokens.
The digital team produced a proof in 88 hours.
The system showed that an initially motionless fluid can develop a singularity under certain conditions. Its velocity grows without bound within a finite amount of time.
GPT-6 Astra then spent another 17 hours formalizing and verifying the result in Lean.
The computation cost millions of dollars, but the company does not plan to claim the prize.
The proof must also survive independent scrutiny from mathematicians.
OpenAI just demonstrated a new model for scientific discovery.
A single AI is no longer trying to replace one scientist.
Thousands of agents can now form a digital research lab and compress decades of human work into days ↓
